The program has an opening tree (looks different than Fritz5.32), bigger opening book, a larger game database, a change in the rendering of the 3d graphics (still excellent, I don't know if better), and supports the use of other major chess engines (Zarkov, Nimzo2000, Wchess + other's I suppose). It also has a Winboard adapter that you can download, but I haven't tried this yet. Unfortunately, the engine itself is still the Genius5 one. While still a very strong & interesting engine, it has not been significantly improved over a number of years, and I suppose that Hiarcs7, Fritz5, Mchess, & Rebel would probably best it. Still, its right up there... The most troubling thing about the Milleneum company is that it appears they were not honest about the engine being the same when they released the new program, and that if Richard Lang ever does in fact figure out how to improve his engine significantly, and releases a new 32 bit Genius, it is not being clearly stated by Milleneum that they would not charge us for it. That's bad public relations to previous Genius owner's (and probably everyone else too:)), who thought they were getting more than just a shiny new gui, when they bought Genius6 mrslug - the inkompetent chess software addict!
